**** Design Automation Conference 2015 **** San Francisco, CA June 7 - 11, 2015 https://dac.com/submission-categories ================================================================== Continuing the tradition of being in the forefront of electronic design, DAC 2015 is seeking submissions that deal with design technologies that address all aspects of electronic design across the following submission categories: research papers, special sessions, panels, tutorials, and co-located conferences and workshops. Authors are encouraged to submit in the categories below on all aspects of EDA, embedded systems and software, automotive design, hardware and software security, and IP design topics. Research Manuscripts Abstract due before 5pm MT November 21, 2014 Manuscript due 5pm MT December 2, 2014 A DAC research paper explores a specific technology problem and proposes a complete solution to it, with extensive experimental results. Authors are encouraged to submit research manuscripts on all aspects of EDA, embedded systems and software, automotive design, hardware and software security, and IP design research topics. "Work-In-Progress" (WIP) Abstracts Abstract due before 5:00pm MT, November 21, 2014 Manuscript due 5pm MT December 2, 2014 DAC Work-in-Progress (WIP) aims to provide authors an opportunity for early feedback on current work and preliminary results. The authors are expected to present a poster at DAC. A 100-word summary abstract will be published on the DAC website, but the submission will not be included in the official DAC proceedings. Special Sessions Abstract and submissions due before 5pm MT, November 13, 2014 A special session is devoted to the following topics: traditional core EDA, embedded systems and software (ESS), automotive, security, IP design or a topic of future interest. The topic should be presented from an angle that does not overlap with content from traditional research manuscripts, having a more educational component. A complete submission should list at least three inspiring speakers who address the topic from different viewpoints. DAC reserves the right to restructure all special session proposals. Technical Panel Proposals Due before 5:00pm MT, October 15, 2014 A good panel session explores a single, high-level issue or question with representatives of differing viewpoints. Panel suggestions may include anything that might appeal to the DAC's broad audience as long as the topic is interesting, timely, informative, and enlightening. The topic should be relevant to one or more segments of DAC attendees. Controversy is appropriate and encouraged; bickering and personal attacks are not. Panel topics can include: general interest, business, traditional EDA, ESS, automotive design, security and IP design. DAC reserves the right to restructure all panel suggestions. Tutorial Proposals Due before 5:00pm MT, November 13, 2014 DAC tutorials will be scheduled as two-hour tutorials presented twice on Monday, June 2, 2014. The ideal structure is to have a single speaker for each session. DAC is looking for timely, tangible, hands-on topics that provide immediate value for the attendee. Attendees have the opportunity to learn about two different topics during the day. The areas can cover: . Traditional EDA topics (for example, "How to architect a parallel timing analyzer") . Hot design topics (for example, "How to design a low-power memory controller") . Emerging software development topics (for example, "How to get started writing iPhone apps") DAC reserves the right to restructure all tutorial suggestions. Workshop Proposals Due before 5:00pm MT, November 13, 2014 DAC invites you to organize a workshop on topics related to design, design methodologies, and design automation. DAC workshops are considered a central part of DAC's technical program and span anywhere from two to nine hours. A workshop organizer is responsible for developing the agenda, selecting, inviting and confirming the speakers, and communicating the workshop details to the DAC office. DAC's responsibility includes the financial management, setting registration fees, coordinating the logistics of the event and publicity. A workshop is not a forum for a single vendor to advertise its technology. Designer Track and IP Track Abstracts Call for Designer Track and or IP Track Contributions open October 23, 2014 Abstract due before 5:00pm MT, January 20, 2015 The focus of the designer track is on the design tool user community. While the regular DAC program is focused on algorithms, the designer track allows tool users to share challenges and benefits of different tools, flows, and methodologies. In addition, it provides excellent opportunities for education and networking benefits between end users and tool developers. The designer track differs from vendor-specific user forums in that it is not tied to a specific EDA vendor. Designers and software developers from Intel, IBM, Samsung, TI, Toshiba, Qualcomm, AMD, Freescale, and other leading IC companies will present their experiences on effective design flows, methods, and tool usage. This is an excellent way for designers to improve their "design IQ" in a short amount of time. Submissions may describe the application of tools to the design of a novel electronic system or the integration of EDA tools within a design flow or methodology to produce such systems. A submission may be problem-specific in scope (e.g., hardware/software-based architecture exploration, analyzing substrate coupling during floorplanning) or may address a specific application domain (e.g., designing wireless handsets). The DAC IP Track brings together Intellectual Property (IP) core designers, users, and IP ecosystem providers from across the globe including leading companies such as ARM, IBM, Imagination, Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, Synopsys, TI, Toshiba, and others who will present their products and design experiences on effective design flows, methods, and tool usage. The IP Track will include lecture presentations, panels and invited talks. It offers a unique opportunity to network and learn from other industry experts. Co-located Conference Proposals Proposals due before 5:00pm MT, November 13, 2014 DAC co-located conferences are meetings, conferences or other special events that have already obtained event sponsorship from IEEE, ACM, the EDA Consortium or another organization. DAC will provide meeting rooms at the conference center at no cost. The event will be financed and otherwise organized by the submitter. DAC is recognized as the premier event for the design of electronic circuits and systems. Close to 300 technical presentations and sessions are selected by a committee of electronic design experts offer information on recent developments and trends, management practices and new products, methodologies and technologies. A highlight of DAC is its exhibition and suite area with approximately 200 of the leading and emerging EDA, silicon, intellectual property (IP), embedded systems and design services providers. _______________________________________________________________________ YOU HAVE RECEIVED THIS E-MAIL BECAUSE YOU ARE SUBSCRIBED TO THE IEEE CEDA MAILING LIST.
